What, like /usr/share/examples/cvsup/standard-supfile? Although
there's a bit of a twist to how it works: the standard-supfile
installed on your system will have the CVS tag inside it appropriate
to the branch you have installed. So, on a 4.9-STABLE it contains:
*default release=cvs tag=RELENG_4
whilst on 4.9-RELEASE-pX it contains:
*default release=cvs tag=RELENG_4_9
and on 5.2.1-RELEASE-p1 it contains:
*default release=cvs tag=.
Oh well. Can't win them all: I'd expect tag=. to be correct for
5-CURRENT, and for 5.2.1-RELEASE-p1 to have tag=RELENG_5_2
What ever, you can download the appropriate supfile from the CVS
repository, and it's fairly obvious how to modify the file for other
branches:
